Rural Report Card #1 In early 1988, Canada Post Corporation made several commitments to our rural customers. We promised more convenience, more outlets, more business for local merchants and more efficient services. Since our program to improve service began, Canada Post Corporation has: Increased convenience by more than doubling the average hours of postal service in communities where these services are provided through retail postal outlets operated by local businesses. Increased the number of postal outlets by opening more than 180 new retail postal outlets in rural communities to complement the services offered by a corporate post office, and 10 new postal outlets in communities where no postal outlet existed. Increased business for local merchants by converting retail postal services from a corporate outlet to local businesses in more than 240 communi­ ties, giving merchants the benefits of increased customer traffic. Increased the efficiency of our service by allowing local merchants to retail postal products and services. This enables Canada Post Corporation to concentrate on efficient pick-up, processing and delivery of the mail.
